1.20 Goodwood - The Glorious Stakes sees the return of Candleford, who ran with credit in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot. The four-year-old, trained by George Baker, is stepping down to Group 3 company, having won the Listed Charlie Wood Stakes at Beverley last month.

3.05 Goodwood - The Stewards' Cup over 6f is the highlight of the seven-race card. Run Boy Run is competing in this race, wearing a first-time visor. Last year's winner, Get It, is reopposing Run Boy Run, with the latter 6lb higher than when winning the Stewards' Cup.
3.05 Goodwood - Apollo One, who lost to Get It in the Stewards' Cup last year, is also in the race. Notable is the presence of promising young jockey Alice Bond on Apollo One, which could provide a strong form chance, especially on the current ground.
